got them down from $475/mo.
They had a 2007 but the money factor from Honda was more than for the 2008, thus the monthly payments were higher, now that makes sense!
I'm in New York
Given that dealers are moving the '07s out, how much should I figure I can reasonably expect to get below this invoice price? 500? Do you think I'll be able to bargain for more than 500?
I'm in California so sales tax is 7.25%. So help me with my math here, and make sure I am doing this right. Let's assume I can negotiate 500 off the invoice, leaving a base price of 29,771.
Having shopped around for other cars, I've noticed that most out the door prices roughly come out to a 10% add on from the base price (e.g. sales tax, license, title, etc.)
So, an out the door price should come to a grand total of: roughly 32,750
I also understand that there is currently a $1,000 cash rebate on 2007 models in order to move the inventory. Is it reasonable to assume that I can then shave off $1,000 from that OTD price, leaving me with a final price of:
31,750
Is this a fair assumption? Am I being too unrealistic? Am I not being aggressive enough? (e.g. do you think an offer of $31,500 flat out the door is too unrealistic)?
Thoughts, advice, suggestions, would all be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Love the car.
The 07 RDX ride is a tight ride. I really enjoyed it. I felt in control. I did not feel it to be all that bumpy. I like the sports ride much better than a cadillac ride. Also my dealer said that the 08s were going to have looser rides because that was a big complaint
Can you give us a breakdown of what've paid?
:shades:
We paid $33,145. Bought from Acura of Fayetteville. I'm pretty happy with the price, may have been able to get them down slightly but it was nice to be able to walk in and out with out any hassle.
I traded my '06 TL and I don't think I got a great price for my car but they explained that the dealer incentives on the '07 TL's hurts their resale on the used models. Actually I got them to give me $130 more to cover their "doc fee", so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences, it was all helpful!
I found this forum very useful and thanks to everyone posted here. I just got a price quote from a dealership in the bay area for 08 w/tech = invoice + $500 , car is not here yet. Will arrived next month. Please let me know what you think on the price ?
I understand most people paying invoice or below starting Dec. 2006 for 07 model, but given the fact that almost no 08 RDX appears at the dealer's lot (in CA) now. Also, invoice + $500 is what I am looking. Of course, some people can get better deal than me. I want to post here so other buyer can have a reference.
Thanks !
It's nice to see you. I did read your post and thanks for the sharing. I did went to your dealership to test drive, it's a great experience. However, since the 08 still too new, they won't able to do anything on the number. (the 33600 you got on 07 is the best value around our area IMO) Will keep you posted once I pick up the car next month.
Thanks !
May I ask, what were the things that most swayed you to the RDX over the CX-7?

This is purely speculation, but I think part of the problem last year was that the CUV market was expected to bubble a lot more than it did initially. Both Acura and Mazda had their respective CUVs sitting on lots a while last fall. There were first-year jitters in both cases, probably - and a fair bit of complaining about MPG. Honda/Acura may play it a little safer for the 2008s now that they have some actual sales numbers, and maybe they'll tighten the supply of vehicles, so the price could stay above invoice longer.
Again, this is purely speculation. If you're willing to wait it out, you may find a better deal in December. If not, I still say Invoice+$500 is pretty darn decent.

Price paid was $33,750 exclusive of tax.
Has anyone dealt with them before? I am also talking to
Gold Coast Acura in Ventura. They cant give me pricing just yet but they say they shoudl be able to match this price.
What do you guys think?
Also anyone ever tried to rent a Acura for the weekend sort of like and long test drive?
People have been paying invoice for a while on the RDX tech. Especially due the fact that the 2008 has memory seat and auto dim mirror standard.
I would definitely shop around and send some quote requests on-line.
Please let me know what dealer in chicago. I cant find one in that range for a tech. is that the price with delivery and was it brand new?
I ordered the 08 but if there is a good deal for the rebate on 07, I would like to consider. I am also in CA, could you give more details on the rebate please since the dealership I ordered from still has 6 2007 RDX at the lot, all with Tech.
Thanks
When you buy, tell your salesman you know about the $1000 factory to dealer rebate (ie other dealers have confirmed it). They are very motivated to move the 07's off the lot. I bet you could buy one for $1000 under invoice with minimal haggling. Good luck!
What do you think.
Can purchase for 34,345. Can lease with the following parameters: 569 per mo. for 36 months, 36k miles, zero down,money factor .00206, 57% residual, security deposit 575 refundable at lease end.
Do these numbers make sense? Want to pull the trigger tomorrow. Thanks

Anyone have any 2008 buying experiences to offer as a comparison? I'm expecting that since the MSRP (according to Edmunds) went up $200 and the $1000 factory-to-dealer incentive to 'clear out' the 07's probably doesn't apply, the 2008 best case price might be $1200 over the 07 price. If that's true, based on the quote I already have, I am looking at ($33,595 + $1200) $34795 for an 08.
Comments anyone?
Thanks,
Bryan
Will pick up the car in the next few weeks. I have been shop around and I think this is the best deal I received in all the Bay area Acura.
From what I can tell, the original dealer cost is $33,050 (Invoice is $34,145; holdback is $1,095). Now subtract the $1000 incentive on the 2007's and the final dealer cost is $32,050. This leaves the dealer less than $500 to pay his bills (interest, commissions, etc). I'm not feeling sorry for the dealer, but I do think the deal must be fair for both parties and $450 seems very reasonable to me.
You know most time a buyer will make a mistake when there is a long and sweet "sale talk" and I fell into it !!
Thanks !!
thanks\goldstar
So far .. I love it.
